Review: Path of Exile


Path of Exile is quite possibly the most difficult game by far that I have reviewed here at MMO Fallout. Up until now, I could probably review most ARPGs with a single paragraph since fans of the genre already know whether or not they’re going to play it. There isn’t much story, you travel through … Continue reading “Review: Path of Exile”

(Editor’s Note: This article was originally written in 2010 and subsequently shelved into the MMO Fallout archives.

Today’s MMOments comes from Champions Online and may be the creepiest interactive moment I have ever experienced in an MMO since I stumbled on a GM cybering in Age of Conan. I recently started playing Champions Online again, creating a new character since I’m using the Perfect World account that managed to get a beta … Continue reading “MMOments: League of Incredibly Awkward Gentlemen”

Xbox One Locks Griefers In Personal Hell


Official Xbox Magazine has a new article out detailing new, notably harsher stance on griefing. With the new Xbox One coming out, Microsoft wants to encourage good behavior while putting a damper on players shouting down their mic or sending obscenity-laced messages filled with questions about one’s own sexuality, or the promiscuity of their mother, … Continue reading “Xbox One Locks Griefers In Personal Hell”
